[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 594290, member: 15801"] Thanks Everyone.... and Nancy you describe exactly how I feel. I do think he can stop himself when he is motivated to do so but I dont think he thinks before he acts and so sometimes does things without thinking and then tries to cover it up.... so impulse control is definitely part of it. But I dont think it is all of it because he has shown before that when he is motivated to control it he can... at least in part. He seems to lose motivation after a while and I dont know why.... I dont think he wants to live this way but I do think he wants what he wants and will try to get it disregarding how others feel. I dont think he is completely lacking empathy but i am basing that on him as a young boy when he definitely had empathy... not so sure now. I am becoming more and more convinced he really has a personality disorder and I think that is what he really needs help with...but it doesnt matter unless he wants that help and geez he has had some of it and walked away from it. *TL [/QUOTE]
